Chapter 138: Delicious jerky, black cloth speaks
Soon after leaving the mountain forest, the sky began to turn light blue, very shallow and shallow, and in a blink of an eye, a red glow appeared on the horizon, slowly expanding its range and strengthening its light, Lin Ji clearly knew that the sun was going to rise from the sky, so he looked there intently.
Sure enough, after a while, there appeared a small half of the sun, red and red, but there was no light and there was still darkness.
As if carrying some burden, the sun slowly rose step by step, trying to rise upward, and at last, finally broke through the clouds and jumped out of the cover of the mountains. The color was so lovely red, and in an instant, the crimson thing suddenly emitted a dazzling light, which made people's eyes hurt, and at the same time, the nearby clouds also shone brightly.
The day dawned, feeling the sunlight shining everywhere, while warm, Lin Ji felt a sudden nausea and disgust from the bottom of his heart, looking up at the sky, the light was very gentle, not dazzling, but still subconsciously used his right hand to bend his palm to cover the straight line of the sunlight on his eyes, and the eyebrows at the corners of his eyes frowned.
Some miss the quietness and darkness of the mountains and forests when they come, looking back at the distant distance, the mountains and forests in the early morning at this moment, some faint mist has not yet dispersed, and it looks like there is nothing from a distance, like a fairy dancing light veil. The soft sunlight shines through the mountains and forests, and the lush green leaves have a deep shade of green.
"Senior, I've been following for a long time, it's time to show up. Lin Ji took a big breath of the morning dew, wanting to dispel the aversion to the sun's rays, and then shouted in a direction to avoid the light.
Lin Ji's words fell, but there was no movement, but Lin Ji was not in a hurry, the old god was there, and it seemed that he was still a little tired in his body, so he simply found a big stone around and sat down.
While sitting down, Lin Ji's right hand shook, and suddenly a palm-sized piece of jerky appeared in his hand, casually put it on the corner of his mouth and bit it, but the next moment he spit it out casually, and swallowed the jerky in his mouth and reached the ground.
"The jerky was really a bit hard, although it tasted good. Some pity said his sigh, anyway, he didn't sleep all night, but he was full of energy at the moment, he was not too troublesome, and he moved with his hands, which was to pull some branches under the surrounding trees.
A small pile of branches were put together, and then a trace of fire flashed from Lin Ji's fingertips, and the dry branches naturally burned, Lin Ji's true qi in his hands still did not waste time, and the true qi was once in it, and he baked on the flame with a few pieces of dried meat.
The jerky is the product of drying, and it will only be harder and drier after being roasted on the flame again, but Lin Ji naturally knows it, and he is moved by this, and what he took out from the ring again were two jars, one jar had an obvious aroma of wine, and the other jar exuded a rich sweet smell.
With a stroke of the hand, the sealing paper on the jar was scratched, the yellow and viscous liquid, the luster was bright and full, the air was full of sweet fragrance in half a moment, some sighed breathing, the fragrance rushed into the nose, the taste did not need to be talked about.
Lin Ji's control of his own true qi is really delicate, only to see that the sweet and moist honey is under the traction of the true qi, after circling the curve in mid-air, it is fully smeared on the entire surface of the jerky, and the flame bakes the honey again and again, penetrating into the depths of the jerky, whenever the honey on the surface seems to disappear completely, and then it will be smeared and replenished again.
Time and time passed quietly in such a complicated and patient-seeking meal, and the sunlight changed direction with the sun in the sky, and there were few areas that the sun could not cover.
At this moment, Lin Ji didn't care if there were people around him who were following him, but waited for the jerky to come out of the oven at a glance, and after a while, the jerky was moistened by honey and flames, and the honey was thoroughly soaked into the inside of the jerky, from the inside to the outside, it was roasted, and the shredded meat was golden and attractive.
It was clear that it was finally baked, and some various spices appeared again in the ring, in a certain order, sprinkled on the jerky again and again, and the honey soon merged with the later seasonings, and it didn't take long for the meat to be more pure and rich, and everything reached an extreme, that is, it was time to bake.
The jerky was controlled by the true qi and placed on a piece of clothing on the ground, although it brought some condiments for cooking, but the plates and other utensils were still not carried, after all, who knew that he could only eat some jerky for the first meal after leaving Kyoto?
However, it has to be said that in addition to being used as a drink, honey can also be used as a special seasoning, and occasionally used surprisingly in some places, which can make a very delicious food. It is a great blessing in the world to bite the freshly baked jerky in his mouth, and occasionally to neutralize the rich sweetness with the same mellow spirits.
"Senior, there is wine and meat here, why don't you come out and talk about it. Lin Ji's body was not afraid of the so-called high temperature on the jerky at all, and he picked up a piece of delicious jerky casually, and swayed around in mid-air as if he had been seduced.
"Hey" sighed helplessly, only to see a wave of light rippling in the air, and the next moment a black figure suddenly appeared on the stone beside Lin Ji. A burst of black light flashed, and he immediately snatched the piece of jerky in Lin Ji's hand, and then swallowed directly.
"How is this?" Lin Ji reluctantly picked up another piece of jerky, put it in the air and began to chew again, and casually threw away the wine jar in his hand and said: "This can also be regarded as a rare wine in Kyoto, I don't know if you like it or not?"
The face of the person who came was completely hidden by the black robe, and he could only vaguely see a curved smile at the corner of his mouth, and he took Lin Ji's wine jar with his hand, and a suffocating voice appeared: "This wine is a little light! ”
Listening carefully to the voice, you can make a rough judgment of age, a middle-aged man in his forties, he poured several sips of liquor one after another, and then turned his head to look at Lin Ji and asked: "Don't you wonder who I am? If I am a member of the four great families, your current behavior is self-defeating!"
The tone was vicious, but most of them were half-joking, Lin Ji was naturally not annoyed, snatched the wine jar from the man's hand, and poured a sip of wine before replying: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, and I am more familiar with throwing bricks and jade." ”
"Then you know who I am? The man in black had a sense of temptation and ridicule towards Lin Ji's title, and it seemed to be a casual attitude, but the eyes under the black clothes seemed to be peering at Lin Ji upright, waiting for his reply.
"Anyway, if it's not someone from the Four Great Families, it's not my enemy, or it's not a person from Shadow Night, then I need to think of a lot of forces. Lin Ji was not in a hurry, and replied with an inexplicable word, and then his eyes narrowed, looking straight at the air in front of him.
"As you might expect, I'm from the General's Mansion, okay, what a cautious little slippery head. There was a faint laughter from under the black clothes, and he casually threw out a ring and said, "This is something that can prove my origin, and it is also a farewell gift that the master asked me to bring you." ”
When the things were sent to Lin Ji's hands, he didn't seem to plan to stay for long, so he picked up a larger piece of dried meat, stood up, and the wind blew through, but he still couldn't blow his black robe, so that people still couldn't see his true face.
"Originally, the master asked me to escort you all the way, but now it seems that you are really hiding deeply, isn't it? I won't follow you the rest of the way, you take care of yourself. "Another gust of wind, which seems to take something away, or something to be taken away, goes away with the wind, and the next moment it disappears without a trace.
"That's right. I thought that the man had left, but the next moment, a familiar hoarse voice suddenly came from the air in the air: "The young master asked me to bring you a sentence, saying that it is a follow-up to his words that night." ”
"What?" Hearing that it was Li Chengjie, Lin Ji still inevitably had a trace of curiosity and questions.
"We can never be friends, but if there is a day, and I believe that one day, we may eventually become brothers!" The voice faded away, feeling the last familiar breath in the air blown away by the wind, and it was clear that he was truly gone.
However, Lin Ji didn't seem to notice this, and looked up at the sky, looking in the direction of Kyoto, which was the direction when he came and the direction when he went, and there was a person there: "Maybe! Lin Ji smiled, and his smile was very bright, even brighter than the hated sun.
His figure continues to walk, towards the path he still continues on, or towards his life that still goes on.
